Our trip back from Cardiff was already during the night as the damn winter hour applies everywhere in Europe. So now, when the clock shows 17:30 you already start feeling sleepy like a baby that just got his milk and bath and is ready to hit Dreamland. We knew that we had a booking somewhere …

Well, in the mountains it snowed. Briefly. Not a lot. But just enough to get that fresh smell of the fresh snow. Have you ever noticed that smell of snow and frost, that smell that lingers in your nostrils, a little bit sweet and hell of a lot dry? It’s more intense when the white …

The weather is still nice enough to get up on your bike and ride the mountains a little. So today I took a little time to do just that. I’m used to this short but intense work out on the road to “Gropșoare“, also know as “Cow’s Meadow” (wonder why I never saw any cow on …

It’s 27 degrees outside. I heard it on the radio that in some part of the country it even went to 29. I guess we should extend our beach season. Because of this “late spring”-like weather, my mind is running always to the wild. I am attracted to it and I would take any chance …

Sunday morning. I hear those tiny footsteps coming down from the bedroom area, tumbling everything in their way, while the heel is pressing down hard with each step as in a punishment she is looking to give to the ground. With one hand beneath the pillow, looking for the cool spot underneath, I’m trying hard …

The kid is in the kindergarten for about 3 months now. Though the first few days (almost the whole first week tbh) the situation was incredible, meaning that she didn’t shed a tear when we first left her there; the second week was the one to torment us as she got bored, wanted to stay home …

The lady in the photoshop smiled slowly at me. It was already 16:25 and their schedule ends at 17:00. Somehow in that smile, I could reach in and grab those words she couldn’t speak: “The Zenit freak is here!“. In spite of my thoughts, she welcomed me with: -35 out of 36 shots! That’s a …

The road was bending in front of us like a lazy snake, barely woken up from the night sleep, warming part of his body in the morning sun. Amalfi Drive was already busy with motorinos and cars alike. The people that decided to go on foot didn’t help the overall picture. Now, the bus driver …

As human beings, we need to carry things. It’s the one thing that defines us as intelligent beings. I know that animals carry stuff too. The lion carries to the den the carcass of the antelope it just killed. Birds are carrying in their beaks the juicy worms that would feed the young ones. They …

And now that I think about it, there’s not a lot to do in the Delta of the Danube other than that. Fishing is only the other past time here, a hobby that you do only after you’ve drunk enough litres of anything containing alcohol. These places were not so long ago considered “wilderness”. That …
